wheel the spindle bearings would not pound out and i went to the pat store and used a pilot bearing puller to get them out. then the u-joints fought kicking and screaming to come out. the tool I got at harbor freight bent. it worked but ill have to get a exchange. the races in the hubs should not be that hard but you never know.
i did see that the spindle nuts had come lose and thats probably the front end shimmy i had

You can make a tool for the upper balljoint adjuster out of a cheap deep 13/16 or 3/4" socket and some work with a grinder.
